World BORDERPOL Congress, formerly BORDERPOL Conference and Expo for Border Management, is the second annual conference of BORDERPOL, the World Border Organization

The Conference and Exhibition will bring together the world’s senior policy makers, practitioners and players, in London, UK, December 3rd-4th 2013 to discuss and debate the current and future issues facing the border management, security and migration management sector.

Controlling and managing international borders in the 21st Century continues to challenge the border control and immigration agencies around the world.

It is generally agreed that in a globalised world that borders are as open as possible, yet threats continue to remain in ever evolving circumstances and situations.

Advancements in technology are assisting in the battle to maintain safe and secure international travel. The border security professional still remains the front line against these threats.

The World BORDERPOL Congress is a high level 2 day event that will discuss and debate current and future policies, implementation issues and challenges as well as new and developing technologies that contribute towards safe and secure border and migration management.
